Down here you have to drive most places and of course when you get there you need parking.

But the amount of money which can be tied up in the form of inventory sitting on the shelf can kill your bottom line. Few stores can afford to stock in any depth. They need a dedicated customers base placing special orders to keep them afloat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744800442634708263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581073256021644369.post-49470698367527440682011-07-19T06:00:06.681+01:002011-07-19T06:00:06.681+01:00I'm not welcome at my local store anymore.

It was 100 percent wtf, like a foreign language to me.<br /><br />With the help of blogs I can figure it out. I am sure there are people here who would love to have a shop like that on the next block. It's busy, too.<br /><br />I can drive to a couple more, one for games and one for railroads, but has lots of useful things.
